Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

extremely weird shit across the board from that user. account claims to be "18M" and running "manjaro and mint", and then has a shell on sdf.org? along with the posts, "Yes, I’d prefer not being resuscitated. If I am finally dead, let it stay that way" just from that thread (and a number of other choice entries elsewhere in their history)
like come the fuck on, can it be more sus
How is having an SDF account weird? Because it's for olds? Or they're hardcore BSDers?
just fishy in aggregate. I wouldn't say so much "because for olds" as "it's far more likely for old(er)s to want something like that". combine that with the wide array of other posts the account has engaged with, and the bio just wholly looks like bullshit to me
I mean I did fuck around on some public VAX hosted things and such in the early 00s, so it's not impossible for this to be a true thing, but yeah. just smells off
I agree that it's fishy in this instance, but dig around in the "smol web" subculture (gemini protocol, etc) and you'll find plenty of youngs who live in shells... cf. tilde.town
Oh yeah, I know about those :) it was more specifically about this exact instance indeed
